Very good luck to everyone quitting smoking! Good job! Not everyone is strong enough to do that.
Personally, no smoking experience whatsoever. I couldn't; I choke whenever I smell cig. smoke! It's awful walking into Wal-Mart, 'cause all the employees stand outside in any weather, just because they're addicted to little sick sticks. Part of me feels like going up to one, grabbing their pack away, and be "Little Miss DARE officer." But since I'm NOT Little Miss DARE Officer...I practice for scuba diving and hold my breath until I'm safely past the cart line. Anyway...good luck again! Try to do something else...eat a lot of chocolate!!! (Hey, it helps everything else.... )

As you can see, I don't hang out here muchly anymore. There's a good reason for this. Y'see, I've been hanging out at a different chatboard called Cardboardia. So far, I've been havin' a blast. Not that I don't love the TLA, but the magic of Entmoot is lost on me. So, as soon as TLA ends, so will my existance here, probably. Who knows though? I might stay. Highly unlikely however. This is a good bye in advance, then. Unless you want to join me and my group of friends at Cardboardia. Cheers! |

Need some inspiration go here Cancer Sucks Its made in memory of my Grandma. I cant even be in a room with someone who smokes. Seriously. My mom takes my younger sisters to this all ages club to watch local bands and I stay home because ppl smoke and I cannot be around smoke. Just cant. I used to be able to stay around it but i guess since everybody in my family quit I've lost my immunness to it. Yeah those anti smoking ads for teens suck. Really bad. I dont think all the ads in the world are going to help. Theres a store RIGHT next door to my school. And everybody knows that they dont ID. They will give anyone a beer or ciggerete for money. ppl have called to cops and everything but they havent been shut down yet. *sigh* those poor poor ppl. Oh hey, inspiration for anyone who's doing ecstacy/speed. I went to a HUGE concert (actually worked at it w/the cancer thingy ^^) And there was this girl that had been crowd surfing. Well they ran over with her and put her on a strecher. A few minutes later she was having convulsions. He had broken her neck/back, and to make it worse, she was on speed. Let me tell you, i thought i was going to vomit seeing her have convulsions like that. My mom and sisters on the other hand watched like they were in a trance. Oh and talk about DARE! lol here (in oklahoma) they have Operation Aware. And they even tell you how to use the drugs! lol oh yeah, no wonder we're like the #1 state to make Meth! Good luck to ya all! You can do it! (of course that "you can do it!" is in the You can do it guy voice you know what i'm talking about if you have seen just about any adam sandler movie )

Bless me, Mooters, for I have sinned. You know how it is, weekend in Paris, smell of Gauloises, late nights in bars drinking cognac, isn't it? People in dark polo necks earnestly discussing semiotics. Oooh! They might as well give you a packet of Gitanes when you get off the train and hold a gun to your head. So, I smoked. You have to. It's the law there. I know, I know. And now I'm paying. Back to square 1 and all that. But it's not square 1, it's square 4 or 5. So keep at it. The strongest "prognostic factor" for successfully giving up is "number of previous attempts". Liked the Mark Twain quote on the previous page. That's me now. Hope to make it through that stage sometime soon. Good luck everyone. |

THE INSANITY OF SMOKING: I had to pop into the main office building this morning and I saw dozens of folks outside the main doors, huddled together trying to shelter from the wind and rain, trying to smoke there little lungbusters as quickly as possible.............and I think I'm a freak I walked past them into the lovely warm building with great satisfaction .......... a while ago I would have been stood shivering and coughing with them My little relapse didn't seem to effect me much, withdrawal symptoms only lasted about a day I've got some nicotine-replacement chewing gum in case a I have another relapse (expensive stuff and tastes like crud, but better than smoke) |

Yes, being liberated from all that stuff is tremendous (note to self: cling on to that thought). No longer is the first thought whenever going somewhere: "where and when will I be able to have a smoke?"
However, it has a down side. I find, at conferences and the like, the most interesting and sociable people are the ones hanging about at the door smeurking tabs. Then again, maybe it just seems like that because you can talk about hanging about outside the door smeurkin tabs. Quote:

What you said, Coney, about seeing all the people standing around smoking outside the office building reminded me of something. All of you need to read the short story "The Ten O'Clock People" by Stephen King. It's in the book "Nightmares and Dreamscapes". Check it out from the local library and read it. It's freaky, but I think all you (ex-)smokers might like it.
